Brookdale Estate

Brookdale Estate epitomises dreaming big. The enormity of the Drakenstein Mountains and Paarl Valley make even this grand Cape Dutch manor seem diminutive. Fynbos, vineyards, orchards, parterre gardens and protected habitats – all carefully replanted by the owner – spool out in all directions, meaning views for all, fine wines on tap and self sustainability. But it's not just the owner’s vision that plays out in Imax size here; let your ambitions run wild (especially if you’ve booked the whole place), with a chef who’ll customise meals, staff who bend over backwards to meet whims and a manor you can make your own, whether you’re helping with the wine harvest, timing-out for tastings, or seeking out elusive lynxes and leopards.

Brookdale Estate is in a get-and-stay-away patch of rural Paarl, amid rampant fynbos, manicured gardens and giving vineyards, overlooking the Drakenstein mountains and Paarl Rock.
